Substitutions in classic drink recipes - divinity or heresy?! - Tiki Drinks and Food

It might be using a 'demerara / jamaican' combo in your mai tai instead of the 'official' 'martinique / jamaican' combo. The El Dorado 12 / Appleton 12 combo is my preferred mai tai, I would suggest that it is divine. I read recently that Paul McGee & Three Dots & a Dash serve their namesake cocktail with orange curaçao instead orange juice. I bulked at the idea & cried 'Heresy!'... Then I got to thinking: in that particular drink, is it really? How much substitution is heresy?
